For generations, immigrants have arrived in the United States in pursuit of a fundamental promise: safety for those who need it, and opportunity for those willing to work for it. Today, the National Capital Area is home to roughly 1.5 million foreign-born residents who are delivering on that promise. Yet, limited access to employment, housing, healthcare, and immigration pathways creates interconnected challenges that make stability harder to achieve.
Founded in 2016 with $4,000 from a GoFundMe campaign, Arrived has grown from a kitchen-table operation into a nationally recognized nonprofit. When immigrants receive the coordinated support they need, communities grow stronger, local economies flourish, and the promise of American life is renewed for another generation.
Arrived partners with immigrants, their families, and the broader community to create pathways to safety, stability, and opportunity.
Arrived envisions a world where all people, regardless of origin, language or background, are able to fully contribute to the communities where they live, work, and thrive.
Arrived is a trusted national leader in immigrant services. The federal government has recognized us as a best-in-class provider and we’ve trained hundreds of practitioners across the country. That recognition is earned through our unique approach:
Clients define their own goals, building the confidence and momentum to carry them forward after services end. personalize service plans to meet their unique needs.
We don’t just deliver services — we partner with clients to build the skills, confidence, and connections immigrants need to thrive on their own terms.
Coordinated support across legal, economic, and emotional needs so progress in one area reinforces the rest.
Delivered in the languages and cultural contexts of the people we serve by a staff who are largely former clients themselves.
Independent evaluation confirms our services measurably improve clients’ lives.
We’re raising $225,000 by December 31st to help newcomers in our community access the safety and support they need to rebuild their lives.
